2022 Toyota RAV4 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AU21 AEH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the last MOT recorded on 8 July 2025 shows a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record up to that point. However, the test is now over a year old and the vehicle is overdue for its next annual MOT, which suggests a lapse in routine compliance. Mileage at 23,411 miles for a 2022 model reflects a low annual average of roughly 5,800 miles, pointing to light usage or extended periods of storage. The single MOT entry provides a clean data point, but the 13‑month gap to the current date highlights a lack of recent inspection history. With no recorded faults, the buyer should focus on consumables and wear items that are not captured by the MOT. Check tyre tread depth and pressure for uneven wear, inspect brake discs and pads for glazing or corrosion, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for play, and assess the exhaust for rust or leaks. A visual scan of the underbody for structural corrosion and a review of service records will reveal any neglected maintenance. Given the low mileage, the drivetrain components are likely to be well‑preserved, yet the overdue MOT means the vehicle’s safety systems, emissions, and structural integrity have not been verified recently. A pre‑purchase inspection should include a functional test of steering, suspension, and braking systems, as well as a check that the vehicle can be legally taxed and driven.
